_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [Eb] _ _ [F] The concert was over at Carnegie [Eb] Hall.
The maestro took bow [Db] after bow.
Yes he did.
[F] He said, my dear friends, I have given [C] my all.
I'm [Fm] sorry, but it's all [Ebm] over [F] now.
_ _ [Bbm] Then from the balcony, [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] there suddenly [Bb] came [Dbm] this _ _ [Eb] mournful cry. _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] Mr.
Paganini, [F] _ [Bbm] we play the [Db] rhapsody.
_ [Eb] And if you cannot [Gb] play it, won't you [Dm] sing it?
_ [Bb] And if you can't sing it, [Bbm] you'll [Cm] simply have to.
[Eb] Riddle the dwindle of wave _ _ _ [Bbm] _
[Ab] of wave of wave.
[A] Mr.
Paganini, [Db] we breathlessly await [Ab] your [Gb] masterful
[F] baton.
Go on [Bb] and sling it.

[Eb] Oh, I never get much [Ebm] for moonlit skies.
I never wink [Db] back at my [Eb] [F] replies.
Oh, [Bb] would you, Paganini?
